Rims
Those rims look real clean on your car silviaks2nr. What size and offset you got? I'm still trying to find rims for mine...but I can't choose. So i'm going to ask anyone that has nice looking rims instead lol.
Also what would be a good suspension set up for mine? I don't want it to looked "slammed" or anything...that's lame, but I want to be able to get rid of the ugly gap in the wheel well. I read that the KYB GR2 Shocks and Tein springs work good. I'm kind of on a budjet so i don't want anything TOO expensive. I don't plan on drifting, dragging or anything like that. Just something to give the car better handling in the turns and a more aggressive look.
As you can tell i'm still kind of a noob at this. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
*edit*
P.S. Those are the gunmetal with machined lip right? Where did you get them and how much did they cost ya? And what type tires do you have on them? Sorry for all the questions...figure why not ask someone that has them.

Well thanks for shattering my hopes and dreams Silviaks2nr!
Anyway, what size would be good to get then? 17", 18"? Like I said, i don't plan on lowering it much, just enough to get rid of the gap in the well. Also I plan on getting the Origin Stylish kit. The rims i'm looking at are either the 17" or 18" Sportmax 962 with specs below.
Size: 17x7
Offset: 40
PCD: 4x4.5
Finish: Gun Metal
With Proxes 4 tires
Size: 215/45ZR17
Size (mm): 215x625
Rating: High Performance All-Season
OR
Size: 18x7.5
Offset: 38
PCD: 4x4.5
Finish: Gun Metal
With Proxed 4 Tires
Size: 225/40ZR18
Size (mm): 225x637
Rating: High Performance All-Season
Again, i'm a noob when it comes to wheels and tires. I'm basically looking for something that won't rub in the wheel well.
So any info, or recommendations would be great!
Sorry if this is too noobish

hey if you want somethin a little meaner looking i would go wider. my suggestion is to go with one of the packages like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...978097602&rd=1 17x7 front and 17x9 rear it will be fairly flush and you may need to run about a 10mm spacer so it doesnt rub the shocks. rubbing shocks is more likely than rubbing fenders with the sizes you picked and the ones i suggested. hope this helps
on the green 240 the sizes are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5
here is 17x7 and 17x9

Sweet, thanks for the link. Do you have any recommendations on tires at all?
Hmm...now i have to find 5 lug conversions. I have found some sites, but I don't know if they're cheap or not. What would be a good price to get them at?
The ones i found are at PDM Racing
One set for front and another for back. And like I said...I don't have any idea if that's cheap or not. I haven't been able to find any other sites for it.

the wheels come in 4 lug that is the beauty but they are heavy like 25lbs i figured this would be moved to the wheel forum lol. yes i am on 240sxforums as well fast1one i think i saw your thread on sleepy eyes
Awesome, found them in 4 lug, bad thing is they don't have it in Gunmetal...oh well. And yeah they are heavy...but that doesn't concern me much. I'm not looking into making my car lighter...yet. Just mainly the exterior aesthetics for now. Then i'll work on the engine/power aspect. All show and no go! haha.
Thanks for all the help Silviaks2nr!

Weird, it's the same guy I found the hyper silvers from. I typed in the model rim "Sport Max 962" but only 2 of them came up in his store and both were the silver...meh. Oh well. Once i get money, i'll for sure get them! Now i just need to find some decent tires...any ideas?
